A friend of mine totalled his prelude awhile back....so i figured i would help take the wheels out of his possession for 300 dollars. They are Azul speed 5's.






And now to the issue I'm having with them versus my other set of 17" wheels, the offset is 2mm difference and now with my car being lowered as much as it is I experience some tire rub. I kinda want to roll the fenders but from what i've seen its hard to get it to look right with a rubber malllet and heat gun lol. Any prior experience is welcome. Here is what i have going on V.


And a shot of my other set of wheels in case you don't dig the black. But for 300 bucks with tires i thought they were a good investment.

 

Nice lookin wheels man. Great price too. I like both sets of your rims actually.

 

The black ones look hot man!! The sticker or whater that ison the lip is throwing me off though, I keep thinking its the wight lol. Check around in your area to see if anyone rents out the eastwood fender roller, from what I have seen they do the best job. Do a search on youtube and you will see how it works.

Oh, it would look even better if you threw some clear on those tails laugh.gif

 

Yep i've seen the fender rolling tool around the net and have saw the video on youtube, never thought about renting one though. I even kinda thought about buying one for around 250 but it would be kinda a waste imo unless of course i started a fender rolling business lmao. Oh and its not a sticker on the rim, the company name is actually etched into the lip of the wheel.

 

new wheels are pretty nice.. STILL not a fan of polished lip tongue.gif

clear the tails please : )

you could just cut away the rolled part of the fender lip, its about 10mm wide, and then it wouldnt rub.

 

like the rims man both sets look really good

i dont know why everyones hating the niteshaded tails, i say keep em fing02.gif , i'll be selling my "carbon fiber" tails and niteshading my stockers next month

 

No hating on the nightshaded tails here, they just look better shiny than dull is all

 

ok so there's to ways of doings this the ghetto way

1st. news paper's...yes new's paper's, 'ive never seen it done like this in person but i heard it's possible, i read this on Zilvia.net.
